Sri Thelliya Singar Thavana Uthsavam at Triplicane 2015

For
us Vedas, and Ithihasapuranams are the most reverred scriptures – Of the
two, Mahabaratham is replete with rich moral stories and life instances.
It extols the living of Lord Krishna at every stage of his life – right
from his birth in prison cell, to moving across river Yamuna during the heavy
downpour; to his growth of every stage at Gokulam, his plays at Vrindavan to
the Great battle at Gurukshetra and more……….

Kulasekhara
Azhwar in his Perumal Thirumozhi lists out some of the deeds of Bala Krishna,
described as Devaki missing out His deeds -

குன்றினால்குடைகவித்ததும்கோலக்குரவைகோத்ததும்குடமாட்டும்

கன்றினால்விளவெறிந்ததும்காலால்காளியன்தலைமிதித்ததுமுதலா**

Some
of them are : “the lifting and holding the Govardhana Giri to protect the stony
rain; His bathing exploits with Gopikas; throwing away the Asura who came
in the form of a calf and with that making wood apples fall; dancing on the
hood of the deadly Kalinga and more”…….. !!

Kaliya
also known as Kalingan was a poisonous Naga living in the Yamuna River,
in Vrindavan where occurred the legend of most dreaded Kaliya and the exploit
of Lord Krishna who jumped into the pond, danced on the hood of deadly snake,
thereby turning the lake turbid - and when Kaliya surrendered, He
benevolently favoured him too….

Sri
Thelliya Singar had purappadu in the morning reached the Bungalow, had
Thirumanjanam inside the premises, had purappadu inside the Bungalow in the
evening He had sarrupadi [decoration ~
alankaram] as ‘Kalinga Narthana Kannan ~ the Krishna who danced on the hood of
Kalinga, the snake during Krishna Avathara’.

To make you appreciate the
sarrupadi, a photo of Azhagiha Singar taken
during Swathi purappadu on an earlier occasion is also posted here.
